Ultimate Tensile Strength 100KN/M Woven Coated Bitumen Fiberglass Geogrid Reflective Cracking Asphalt Driveway

Fiberglass Geogrid 100 100 Key Characteristics and Advantages:

Fiberglass Geogrid 100-100 is a workhorse material in geotechnical engineering.

It's a biaxial, high-strength, and durable grid used to make soil stronger, stabilize weak ground,

and create longer-lasting, more cost-effective paved areas by improving the performance of the aggregate layers

How Fiberglass Geogrid Reflective Cracking Happens ?

1.An existing concrete slab or old, cracked asphalt driveway develops cracks.

2.These cracks move due to thermal expansion/contraction (temperature changes) and traffic loading.

3.When you pave a new layer of asphalt over it, these movements in the old layer transfer upward through the new, weak layer.

4.Within a short time (often just one or two seasons), the exact same crack pattern appears in your brand new driveway.

What Means Fiberglass Geogrid Tensile Strength 100KN/M ?

• 100-100: This is the most important part of the specification.

It denotes the minimum ultimate tensile strength per unit width in the machine direction (MD)

and cross-machine direction (CMD), measured in kN/m (kiloNewtons per meter).

• The first 100 means it has a minimum ultimate tensile strength of 100 kN/m in its longitudinal direction (along the roll length).

• The second 100 means it has a minimum ultimate tensile strength of 100 kN/m in its transverse direction (across the roll width).

In short, Fiberglass Geogrid 100-100 is a biaxial (equally strong in both directions) geogrid made from fiberglass,

with a strength rating of 100 kN/m.

Fiberglass Geogrid Specification

✔ Corrosion & UV Resistant – Long-lasting durability in harsh conditions
✔ Easy Installation – Flexible, lightweight, and roll-form for quick deployment

Fiberglass Geogrid 100 100 Applications:

This specific strength (100-100) is very common and versatile. Its main uses include:

Road and Pavement Reinforcement:

Laid on soft subgrade before placing the aggregate base course.

It reduces rutting, extends pavement life, and allows for a thinner base layer, saving cost.

Soil Stabilization: Used to build stable working platforms on very soft soils (like clay or peat),

allowing construction equipment to operate.

Asphalt Overlay Reinforcement:

A specialized application where a fiberglass geogrid is embedded in asphalt to retard reflective cracking from old pavement layers.

Landfill and Embankment Support: Provides tensile strength to soil structures.

Parking Lots and Access Roads: A very common application for this strength class.

Fiberglass Geogrid Reflective Cracking Conclusion:

Using a fiberglass geogrid for reflective cracking is a proven, engineered solution that can

significantly extend the life of an asphalt overlay on a cracked driveway.

It is not a DIY-friendly product and its success is 100% dependent on correct installation

by a knowledgeable asphalt paver. When done right, it is one of the most effective ways

to prevent your old driveway's problems from haunting your new one.
